Little Mary Sunshine takes l Tom Hanson directs the Rangers. Jan Kochneff plays up to Joe Schuver. . Do you remember dastardly villians, blushing heroines, or stalwart heroes? Do you remember the days when the good guys always wore the white hats? Do you remember the operetta? Well, if you do, or even if you don't, the Loras Players had a theatrical tidbit to titillate your nostalgic tastebuds. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, April I8-20 at 8 p.m. the Loras Players presented Little Mary Sunshine , a saga of Colorado! The story line deals with Little Mary CMartha Wadleb, the charming proprietress of the Colorado Inn high in the Rockies. As the show opens we dis- cover that Little Mary has purchased the land upon which the Inn stands via the humble savings she earned through the sale of her homemade cookies. Because she is unable to meet the payments the government will be forced to foreclose the mortgage. Trying to win her pure heart is the stalwart Forest Ranger, Cpt. Big Jim Warington CBill Renkb. As in every operetta we have our character juvenile and soubrette. Thomas L. Hanson por- trays Corporal Billy Jester, a timid, yet well intentioned hero. Opposite him is Naughty Nancy Twinkle QDebbie Ecker- manb, Little Mary's woman of the world' maid. And of course what would an operetta be without a horde of wild Indians. Doug Kroupa and Bob Paul portray the parts of Fleetfoot and Chief Brown Bear of the once fierce Kadota tribe. Brown Bear adopted Little Mary into the tribe many years ago, when the noble lndian guide, Fleetfoot, found the lost girl who was berry picking at the time. Fleetfoot and Brown Bear are the only two Kadotas left-or are they? Dan Heithoff says no, and he can prove it as he plays Yellow Feather, the operetta's villian. Debbie Eckerman with her lndian friend.
